This particular lesson I liked very much. I was not aware of the availability of free desktop programs online. Since we are a small and technically-challenged library, the main benefit for me would be creating documents at home that I could later edit when I'm at the library. There is really no one to "share" with in these applications.
Being basically paranoid, however, I am certain I will not ever create any links between my hard drive where items like IRS information is stored, and any type of online storage facility. All of these places assure you how safe your information is, but if hackers can get into Department of Defense and bank databases, they could get into these also if they really wanted to.
So for lots of documents I want to work in at both places, it is much better than carrying around a thumb drive, and I am happy to have learned about this because it will certainly help me. And as recommended, I used the Google docs, as I didn't need to provide any further information and remember yet another password and login.
Again, this is one of the most useful "things" (for me anyhow) in this entire class. Thank you for giving me this knowledge.
